What's the expense of traveling from Elgin to Dumfries by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £43.8. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 143 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £21.9 (£43.8/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £14.6 (£43.8/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £10.95 (£43.8/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 252.47 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 252.47 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 30.6 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 30.6 liters of fuel at 143 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £43.8.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Elgin to Dumfries amounts to £43.8.

 

Fuel consumption in automobiles can be affected by the following factors:

In severe traffic, drivers frequently have to stop and start their vehicles multiple times, and they also have to wait in traffic lines for extended periods of time. When compared to driving on open highways with the flow of traffic, this frequent acceleration and deceleration might contribute to an increase in the amount of fuel that is consumed.

It is possible to increase fuel consumption by carrying additional weight in the vehicle, such as large goods or objects that are not necessary. This is because the engine is put under additional pressure while the vehicle is carrying excess weight. Improving fuel economy can be accomplished by removing unneeded weight.

Elevation Changes: Driving on roads that have steep inclines or drops can have an effect on fuel usage, particularly for vehicles that have engines that are not as strong. During a descent downhill, it may be necessary to use greater braking and petrololine in order to maintain control, but climbing uphill takes more power from the engine, which in turn consumes more fuel.

Weather Conditions: Unfavourable weather conditions, such as rain, snow, or strong winds, can have an impact on the amount of petrololine that is consumed. It may be necessary for drivers to modify their speed and driving behaviour in response to these conditions, which will have an effect on fuel efficiency.
